Hey,

If I am creating a new install and want to use a remote database from the start.

I have attempted to do several different ways Im not sure which to post as far as results.

Im looking for an order of operations.

Do I need to create the app with/wo database first.
if I should get the base app working first then migrate.
or change the credentials just after mix phx.new
etc

the end result would be to go straight to production with a ‘fullstackphoenix’ starter template app to fly.io with a managed database at digital ocean.

but even as far as just a blank fresh install, many, I’m not having success doing this configuration just yet.

I can get a blank install onto fly.io no issues but as soon as I introduce the external database to dev.ex and/or runtime.ex (local or deploy, usually same issue) I get:

05:27:10.307 [error] GenServer #PID<0.328.0> terminating
** (Postgrex.Error) FATAL 08P01 (protocol_violation) no such database: postgres

    (stdlib 4.1.1) proc_lib.erl:240: :proc_lib.init_p_do_apply/3

Any pointers would be appreciated.
